Reading

statements are true (T) or false (F).
Three things to do before you leave the
planet!
1 Visit Tuvalu
Tuvalu in the Pacific Ocean is the fourthsmallest country in the world. Sadly, it’s also
only 4 metres above sea level at its highest.
Because of the rise in sea levels, Tuvalu might
be the first country to disappear under the
waves. The islands are a paradise of beautiful
tropical beaches and palm trees. Why don’t you
go there before they disappear? Take a plane
from Fiji, stay in one of Tuvalu’s four guest
houses and have a drink in its one bar. Go now,
before it dies.
2 See the world’s largest flower
Go to the jungles of Borneo or Sumatra and find
the world’s strangest plants, Rafflesia. For most
of its life, the plant is invisible and hard to find.
But to find it is amazing. It grows into the
world’s largest flower. It can be one metre
across and weigh 10 kilos. And it smells terrible!
However, it only lasts a few days. You’ll be
lucky to see one.
3 Find happiness
Why do some people live perfectly happy lives
while others find life hard? The answer might be
1 Tuvalu is a country of islands. T
2 There are lots of places where you can ___
have a beer or a fruit juice.
3 Rafflesia grows in deserts. ____
4 It isn’t very easy to find. ___
